CINDY:

After reading your book, I simply must ask, is this a biography of your own life?
 
RUTH:  

Yes it is.
 
CINDY:

What was your purpose or motive for writing this book and what do you hope your readers will take away from the experience?

RUTH:  

Dreaming the date of my mother's death was a pivotal point and inspired me to write Dream Moments The Voice in Your Dreams, Prophecy and Intuition. One morning, I woke-up with a date given to me in a dream. It was a spiritual life-changing event. Twenty years ago when I dreamed the date of my mother's death, and she did die on that date, I published the story in FATE magazine. FATE magazine requested I notarize the story to validate the truthfulness of the dream. I went to the notary, validated the authenticity of the dream, and sent it to FATE for publication. FATE magazine published the dream and sent a small check. That was validating too! But more importantly, the dream gave me time to prepare for my mother's sudden departure from this earth. I hope my readers will become interested in paying attention to, tracking, and writing down their dreams. Besides prophecy and expanded intuition, dreams offer a wealth of psychological and spiritual information!
 
 
CINDY:

How long from start to finish, did it take for you to write it from manuscript to published format?
 
RUTH: 

 It took two years.
 
CINDY:

What other books have you written and can you give us a short description?
 
RUTH: 

 I wrote a book called No Time for Down Time? The book offers tips on how to take time and balance life everyday. It teaches a person the importance of reducing stress. I teach a process called Effortless Meditation Therapy (EMT). I describe the process in the book.
 
CINDY:

Are there more works in your future and if so, what are you currently working on now?
 
RUTH:  

I am thinking about writing another book. I like writing in the style that I wrote Dream Moments, The Voice in Your Dreams, Prophecy and Intuition. Since I completed writing Dream Moments more prophetic dream information was given to me in dreams emphasizing the prophetic nature of dreams. I am considering writing a follow-up, Part II. Combined with the importance of wellness and self-care.
 
CINDY:

I'm curious, what is your definition of the difference between a sleeping and waking dream?
 
RUTH:  

In my opinion, and to use a phrase, life is but a dream. Everything has a dreamlike quality. The difference between nighttime dreams is that at night, when we sleep, we have the ability to travel outside of the body. In the nighttime dream world we are not limited to our physical body. Our perceptions include other dimensions. Like Jesus said, There are many mansions in my father's heaven. In dreams we have a 360-degree point of view. Jesus made a reference to it in the Bible. He knew that someone would betray him. He had a deep abiding faith and a well-developed intuition.  He delivered this message to his disciples. A waking dream is a more direct delivered message we receive while we are awake. Sometimes we get a message from someone who says something to us and it stimulates our intuition.  The message resonates and brings information that we need, or have been searching for.
 
CINDY:

Will this book be a part of a series and if so, what context is the series based upon?
 
RUTH:  

It may be a part of a series. I like writing about my dreams. Dreams are psychologically and spiritually interesting. The context may be similar to Dream Moments the Voice in Your Dreams Prophecy and Intuition. In my writing I am self-reflective, memoir style. I am a psychotherapist and I look for hidden meaning.
 
CINDY:

Where is this book available and are you offering signed copies? If so, how might one contact you to get a signed copy?
 
RUTH:  

All major bookstores Barnes and Noble etc. carry Dream Moments, the Voice in Your Dreams, Prophecy and Intuition. Yes, most definitely, one can receive a signed copy. Please email me at Relaxwithruth@gmail.com
 
CINDY:

You were recognized in the 2005 National Register’s of Who’s Who in Executives and Professionals. Explain how this came about and did you receive any awards for your work?
 
RUTH:  

They contacted me and asked me if I would like to be a part of their professional network. I accepted.
 
CINDY:

And last, is there any additional information you would like to pass on to your readers?
 
RUTH:  

Take time for yourself! Take care of you body, your mind, and your spirit. Nurture yourself everyday. Pay attention to your dreams and expand your perceptions, vision, and horizons. Believe in yourself. Life is challenging but keep going knowing that God has a plan for your life. You are special and unique. Close your eyes and tune into the higher parts of yourself and know that you are a precious child of God.
 
I wish to thank you for the opportunity to interview you and I wish you all the best in the field of writing and publishing.
